The MLB Immaculate Grid for July 19 features the Toronto Blue Jays in the first column and the Minnesota Twins in the third row. That means the daily trivia puzzle for the day requires participants to identify players who have played for both teams.
Numerous players have represented both teams, one of them being Josh Donaldson. Drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 2007 MLB draft, Donaldson went on to make his debut with the Oakland Athletics in 2010 as a designated catcher.
His progress with the team was commendable, as he went on to switch positions to third base, earning an All-Star berth in the 2014 season.
He's now the third baseman for the New York Yankees. He has also played for the Toronto Blue Jays, Cleveland Guardians, Atlanta Braves and Minnesota Twins.
Donaldson was unstoppable after being traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. The three-time All-Star ended the 2015 season with a career-high 41 home runs, 123 RBIs and an excellent .297 batting average en route to his only MVP award. He bagged a Silver Slugger Award as well.
In August 2018, he was traded to the Guardians and later penned a contract with the Braves. After a successful stint with the Braves, he signed a four-year deal with the Twins before he was traded to the New York Yankees for the 2022 season.
